With profound respect and solemnity, the Mandaean Union mourns the passing of Pope Francis, who departed this world on April 21, 2025. Though we are not Christians, we recognize the universal values he championed throughout his papacy.
Pope Francis's unwavering commitment to the marginalized, the poor, and the underserved communities stands as a testament to his dedication to human dignity. His consistent advocacy for peace and his vocal opposition to war resonated beyond religious affiliations, inspiring individuals worldwide to pursue justice and compassion.
In a world often divided by differences, Pope Francis's actions and words reminded us of our shared humanity. His legacy will continue to inspire efforts toward a more inclusive and peaceful world.
We extend our deepest condolences to the Catholic community and to all who mourn his loss. May his memory be a guiding light for all who strive for a better tomorrow.
In unity and peace,

The Mandaean Associations Union
